Baked Beans Dont Get Any Better Than This Food

THE BEST (AND EASIEST) BAKED BEANS EVER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large Dutch oven, combine the baked beans, onion, bell pepper, and the bacon. Season with chili powder, Worcestershire, vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic powder and salt. Add cayenne if using.
• Cover and bake for one hour in the oven.
• You can uncover the second 1/2 hour if you like your beans on the thick side.
• I have also made these in the crock pot on high for 2-3 hours depending on how thick you like them.

BETTER THAN BEST BAKED BEANS!

Steps:

• Fry bacon in frying pan.
• I cut into bite sized pieces with scissors before frying.
• As bacon fries, chop onions.
• When bacon is finished, remove from pan,drain and wrap in paper towels to absorb grease.
• Saute onions in bacon fat til translucent.
• Pour into strainer, but not necessary to rinse or pat with paper towel.
• For me, straining is enough.
• Pour canned beans into 6 Qt Crockpot.
• Stir in bacon, onions, ketchup, Salsa, Brown Sugar and cumin, mixing very well.
• Stir often.
• Cook on high for 3 hours, then switch to low for another two hours, well ahead of serving as it tastes even better the longer you allow the flavors to blend together.
• If I'm making them for a party, I make them early morning for that night or even the night before, cooking overnight in the crockpot.
• They will stay hot for a long time and you can just turn the crockpot back on a couple hours before serving.
• I taste them often as they're cooking and add more salsa and/or cumin to taste.
• We like to taste the cumin, but if you don't that's ok.
• Recipe is easily halved or doubled.
• I never measure anything- I add all ingredients for our taste preferences.
• Freezes VERY well and you can reheat in microwave or in crockpot once thawed.
• Leftovers are great the next day!
